Amnesty International has expressed “deep concern” at news that the UK government has “lost” potentially crucial files related to possible human rights violations during the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’.

A report published today by the House of Commons Committee for Exiting the EU provides strong reasons for the government to keep membership of the single market and customs union on the Brexit negotiating table, the TUC says.

Amnesty International has welcomed a decision by the High Court in Belfast to overturn a decision by the Police Service of Northern Ireland not to take further steps to identify and prosecute those responsible for the torture of the 'Hooded Men'.
